Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Pitted Medjool dates, chopped
• 0.75 cup Pecans, toasted and chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before starting.

Step 2

In the chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until smooth.

Step 4

Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Take care to retain as much air as possible for a light and fluffy texture.

Step 5

Once combined, fold in the chopped dates and toasted pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.

Step 8

Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

Step 9

Scoop and serve the ice cream straight from the freezer. Enjoy!
